I love basketball and I love ESPN, but I am sick and tired of ESPN’s relentless updates on Obama’s bracket results. I have no problem with Obama picking teams in a bracket. I’m sure many presidents have done the same. It’s the inappropriate, unprecedented, over-the-top coverage of his bracket picks that I find offensive. When has ESPN ever given such coverage — or should I say, promotion — to a political figure? It’s totally inappropriate, and it’s offensive! I’m glad Obama is a basketball fan. We have that in common. But why is ESPN inundating its audience with coverage of Obama’s picks? It’s the Obama-worship I find offensive, not his bracket picks.
BTW, Coach K in 2012!
